A Review of the AFL-CIO Blog

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 03.02.06 // 02:57 PM

Over at Daily Blog there is an interesting review of the AFL-CIO blog, the comments are interesting as well.

The space the AFL-CIO created that it labels "blog" appears to me to be no different than the rest of the site: it's simply offering information (which is fine) but it prevents debate--a long-time hallmark of the AFL-CIO's culture that pre-dates the Sweeney Administration. No one can post comments. You're simply asked to absorb more propoganda and be interested in a one-way conversation.
Hat tip to Justin M for the tip.

Starwood Hotels just launched a new blog with contributors from various travel writers. They seemed to have done it right, with the ability to post to delicious, digg, etc. It's called The Lobby

For whatever reason, your comment section didn't except html. URL for the Starwood site mentioned above is www.thelobby.com
